Day 93: Trinity, Elliston, Bonavista to St. John's

 Dear Gilles,

It was a long day of driving today. 

The sun was shining! 

I planned a long day of driving. 

We went up to Trinity - checked out a UNESCO geo-spot. Saw the town. Returned to the highway. 

We went in to Elliston for the puffin lookout spot. 

Saw the puffins. Boys were amazed at how small they were - especially beside seagulls. No photos. Too far away and too tiny. We just enjoyed seeing them. 

The boys sat in a chair and called themselves the Puff-Vins.

Then we went to the Puffin Cafe for lunch. I got some Cod au Gratin in honour of Come From Away - and I thought we should try it. Lunch took a long time to be served so that added to our time. 

Then we headed to Bonavista. Saw an iceberg in the wild. Visited the John Cabot statue. 

Booted out of there on our way to St. John's campground. 

We're staying at Pippy Park. It's right beside a main road and all the sites are jammed as close together as possible. Our site is wide open for sun, rain and wind. And it's windy.

Our tent is pegged down GOOD. 

I'm wired from driving. I'm tired from driving. 

We'll get our feet under us tomorrow.
